Life of Maverick: In the Land of Giant Man Eaters

-Chapter 8: On That Day-

Somewhere in the Trost District, Wall Rose

News had spread throughout the rest of humanities territories regarding the breach of Shiganshina. As well as reports regarding the one responsible for slaying the invading titan force...

Inside an office, a group of merchants and officials were currently discussing the news regarding the breach. Dimo Reeves, owner of the merchant organization, Reeves Company, finds himself struggling to process the information. "Unbelievable, titans breaching Shiganshina...Why? After a hundred years, why would the walls fail us now?"

An official turned to respond to Dimo's questions. "Whether you believe it or not Mr. Reeves, the district has indeed been breached, we've received reports of civilians fleeing the district by boats. I'm told there are at least five hundred refugees and counting."

Another official chimes in. "The real question is, have we only lost the Shiganshina District alone? What of the rest of Wall Maria?"

Another merchant responds to his query. "Can't say for sure, the situation is still ongoing as we speak." Silence filled the room as they processed the information regarding the crisis.

"A-Anyways, the best we can do right now is contact the central government, the situation is-" The conversation was interrupted as the door to their office suddenly bursts opened to reveal an exhausted Garrison soldier. "E-Excuse me! Apologies for the intrusion, but new developments have just come in! The titans inside the Shiganshina District have been wiped out!"

Everyone's eyes widened at this shocking turn of events. The titans wiped out? How? The reports said that dozens of the monsters got inside, had the Garrison managed to beat them back? Was it the Survey Corps? They had to know!

"H-How....how were they defeated?" The soldier looked nervous as he looked over the report once again, struggling to speak.

"A-A combined force of Garrison and Survey Corps forces fought off the titan horde, alongside a-a-a-" The poor soldier continued to stutter, irritating the gathered officials.

"For God's sake! Spit it out soldier!" Dimo shouted.

"T-The reports s-say that...a larger than average man, m-marked in glowing tattoos...fought alongside the military, d-displaying supern-natural feats, and...s-slaughtered the titans inside the district..."

...

...

...

"What?"

Near the Outer Gate of the Shiganshina District

Silence filled the air as the surviving townsfolk stared in utter shock at the sight before them. The man from beyond the walls, that many had seen arrive before the attack had, for lack of a better word, "summoned " the titans inside the district towards him, and single handedly slaughtered them to the last. No one said a word as the marked man, standing atop the piled-up bodies of headless titans, slowly started to make his way down, titan bones cracking and breaking with every step. As his feet touched the ground, one of the townsfolk approached the glowing warrior.

The man had certainly seen better days, as his face looked hollow and ghoulish, and his clothing was ragged and bloodied. The ragged man stopped a few feet away as he stared into the superhuman's glowing orbs.

"T-The titans...have you slayed them all?"

Maverick looked back at the pile of giant skeletons, then towards the outer gate, seeing no signs of any approaching giants. "Seems like it friend, at least for now..." Maverick turned back to the man, only to feel his naked body collide with something.
